Template:No redirect conditional ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( XfD| restore)

Significant new information has come to light since the discussion that would justify undoing the merge: Checking whether a page is a redirect is expensive. Some pages have hundreds of calls to Template:No redirect, and they're now all ending up in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls. Although the conditional variant is often the preferred method, cases like this mean that the unconditional variant has its uses as well. Jackmcbarn ( talk) 20:39, 14 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Note from closer: It would have been nice if this had been discussed with me prior to filing a deletion review. My close was "merge if possible", as the technical aspects of the merge hadn't been fully investigated. This new information makes it obvious that a merge is not possible without significant unintended consequences, ergo, don't merge. The "if possible" bit already covers this issue, and a deletion review is unnecessary in my opinion. ~ Rob₁₃ ^Talk 21:35, 14 August 2016 (UTC) reply
